The Blue Train is widely regarded as one of the world's most luxurious trains and offers guests the opportunity to enjoy some of the most beautiful and spectacular scenery in Africa from all the comfort and luxury of one of the world's finest 5 star "train hotels".

For more than half a century South Africa's Blue Train has enjoyed an international reputation as one of the world's pre-eminent traveling experiences.

The Blue Train is unique - it is not merely a train but combines the luxury of the world's leading hotels with the charm of train travel. Think of it as an all inclusive luxury rail cruise with an opportunity to view South Africa's spectacular landscapes and visit interesting tourist attractions along the way.

Traveling South Africa's varied landscapes along four alternative routes, this luxury train combines all the comfort and luxury of a five-star hotel with a globally unparalleled journey.

By day, your private suite is an elegant and relaxing haven. Generous lounge chairs and a writing desk at the window afford unparalleled views of Africa's panoramic and enigmatic sights.

The discerning traveller is offered a choice of journeys into a timeless world of grace, elegance and romance, where some of the world's most dramatic scenery can be enjoyed in luxurious comfort.

The Blue Train travels two routes:
Pretoria - Cape Town (1 night)
Cape Town - Port Elizabeth Garden Route (2 nights)

Off-train excursions are undertaken on the Cape Town, Garden Route and Victoria Falls routes. On the Cape Route, passengers spend one night on board while, on the Zimbabwe Spectacular, guests spend two nights on the train. Both journeys offer travelers a unique opportunity to enjoy some of southern Africa's most breathtaking scenery.

The Blue Train was nominated as the World's Leading Luxury Train during the World Travel Award ceremony in the Bahamas on 31 Oct 1998.
